Eye-opening Jams

August 24, 2007|By SAM MCDONALD Daily Press

Reggae veterans Steel Pulse join forces with the legendary Wailers tonight at Harbor Center amphitheater in Portsmouth. Steel Pulse, led by singer David Hinds, carries on a tradition of politically aware Jamaican music. "Steel Pulse isn't here to start a physical revolution, we're just here to open everybody's eyes," Hinds recently told the Albuquerque Journal. "We deal with positive spirits. That means putting aside the guns, the drugs and all things that are ailments of society." Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $29 and they're available from Ticketmaster.
